What we are seeing from the GOP is not politics as usual. It is not normal. It is dangerous.
They're setting up the rationalizations for chaos – and violence. The core belief of the GOP is that it is impossible for Republicans to lose elections. https://t.co/yA7D9kXu1Q

Will Trump cult candidates concede if they lose?
I think many won’t. Some even claimed the primaries were rigged.
One looming question: how many of these election deniers will claim fraud if they lose in November? And will Trump echo their claims? And will that deepen, or discredit, the myth of massive, systemic election fraud that has consumed the GOP? https://t.co/hLY9RSTtCo
